Artcast #11 Sojourner City

For last night’s artcast I did a little bit or digital painting again. This time a bit of concept art for a friend. I spent a bit too much time setting up a perspective grid that I never used, and I’d like to spend a couple more hours on this to refine the shapes and add detail, but all in all, it turned out okay.

I haven’t been able to get the video to play yet, but I love the final result. It reminds me of a lot of the sci-fi paintings that I used to love when I was a kid. There’s a whole potential back story here that I would love to learn more about. Is this an outpost on a remote planet? Or is it the re-emergence of Earthly civilization, following years of post-apocalyptic turmoil; a refuge of progressive idealists who have not yet made it to Battle Angel Alita arrogance and oppression over the outer masses, but will be there in 50 years or so?
